A United States welding certificate photo is 2 × 2 in (600 × 600 pixels at 300 DPI) on a white or off-white background, saved as a JPEG under 240 KB. The head must measure 33 mm (65% of the height) from chin to crown, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.
